FAQs
I'm getting frequent arc fault breaker trips in my Skowhegan home. What should I do?
Frequent arc fault (AFCI) breaker trips are a common issue in older Skowhegan homes where wiring may have aged or connections have loosened. This is a safety feature alerting you to potential fire hazards. Our electricians will perform a detailed inspection to pinpoint the source—often in outlets, switches, or light fixtures—and provide a safe repair or recommend a panel upgrade if needed to handle your home's modern electrical demands.
Can you help with electrical meter corrosion, and what causes it here?
Absolutely. Meter corrosion around the service entrance is a frequent problem in our area due to Maine's damp climate, road salt spray in winter, and temperature swings. Corrosion can lead to power flickers, heat damage, and even outages. We safely replace corroded meters and components, install protective seals, and often recommend a full service panel inspection to ensure the entire connection from the utility line into your home is secure and weather-resistant.
My generator keeps failing. Can you repair it, and what's involved in a proper installation?
Yes, we specialize in generator repair and installation. For repairs, we diagnose common issues like faulty transfer switches, battery failures, or fuel system problems. For a proper installation—critical for reliable backup power during Maine outages—we ensure the unit is correctly sized for your home, placed on a stable pad with proper clearances, and that the electrical transfer switch is professionally integrated with your main panel. This prevents backfeed hazards and ensures seamless operation when you need it most.
